To establish a "jewel" in the mid-East in an effort to change the face of the mid-east...not for the benefit...per se...of the those people...but for the benefit of the Western world. In other words the mission in Iraq is an extention upon the war on "terrorism" and is a forward thinking long term goal. The troops in Iraq are there in defense of this country against its enemies as well as the enemies of the Western world in general.
As...for you feeling it is your "right to decide" whether your country is doing the right thing. Anyone can pick and choose what laws they will...or will not...obey. There of course are consquences for breaking any law. In the case of "draft dogers"...in this country...the consequenc five years in Federal Prison...as well as being ostracized by the majority of society...loss of job opportunities etc....as Americans in general have little use for "draft dogers".

Perhaps then, you could tell me what this war is about. I thought it was a way for The Bush Admin to channel taxdollars (and alot of them) to Dick's company.
Who gives a fuck if the majority of society thinks of draft dodging. Not everyone exists for the sole purpose of winning the approval of the masses. Not everyone plays follow the leader. There are still a few people in this goddamn country that are capable of thinking for themselves. Besides, in nearly all cases, history has shown that the majority is usually woefully wrong and it is only until much later in history that everyone wises up to this fact.
People used to bust the balls of the draft dodgers in vietnam. Eventually, however - the masses of society today recognize that not only was the war wrong but also that
Its easy to look back in hindsight and talk about how wrong that war was since it was two generations ago and the so-called patriots arent threatening you and yours. Any pussy can do that. The people who had balls - the real country men - were talking about how it was wrong WHILE IT WAS GOING ON. The same is true today. The people who criticise Bush right now are the real patriots. 10 years from now, everyone will realize that the war was wrong and everyone will blame Bush for it. Its easy to do that 10 years from now.
They arent picking and choosing what laws they are gonna follow. An unconsitutional law is no law at all. Dosent matter how many times you hahahahaha it out, demand complaince or scream about it.
